Salumbar is a block located in Udaipur district and its head-quarter is at a distance of 70 km from Udaipur. It is a pre-dominantly tribal block that adjoins Banswara and Dungarpur district. Though irrigated in a small pocket, Salumbar has poor agriculture production and little local employment options. It is among the most significant sending area for Ahmedabad and Mumbai and its workers find employment in a range of construction, manufacturing, scrap and service related occupations.

The Aajeevika Bureau center in Salumbar began in early 2008 and it has rapidly built a network in 11 panchayats. The centre was set up as a specialized node for providing multiple services to migrants in partnership with BASIX. The centre now undertakes registration, photo ID, training, placement and counseling of migrant youth. The Salumbar team works closely with the Bureau’s Ahmedabad team in promotion of collectives of workers from this region in the city.
